  1. Sustainable Cities: Urban Land Use and Management G. Tyler Miller’s Living in the Environment 13th Edition Chapter 25 Dr. Richard Clements Chattanooga State Technical Community College Modified by Charlotte Kirkpatrick

  2. Key Concepts • Distribution of urban and rural populations • Factors determining urban development • Resource and environmental problems in urban areas • Effects of transportation systems on urban growth • Planning and controlling urban growth • Making cities more sustainable and desirable

  3. Urbanization and Urban Growth • Urban (metropolitan) area • Rural area • Village • City • Degrees of urbanization • Urban growth: natural increase and immigration

  4. Patterns of Urban Growth • Increasing proportion of population • Great increase in large cities (>1,000,000) • Increasing rapidly in developing counties • Urban growth slower in developed countries • Poverty in urban areas increasing (See Spotlight p. 663)

  5. Cities over 10 million

  6. Urbanization in the US • Migration to large central cities • Migration from cities to suburbs • Migration from north and east to south and west • Urban sprawl • Spatial patterns of development (see Fig. 25-9 p. 667)

  7. Urban Sprawl

  8. Concentration/Distribution of People in US

  9. Major Urban Regions in the US Fig. 25-6 p. 665

  10. Megalopolis

  11. Impacts of Urban Sprawl Fig. 25-8 p. 666

  12. Urban Resource and Environmental Problems • Air and water pollution; waste management • Reduction in vegetation • Importation of food, energy, and materials • Climate impacts: urban heat island • Noise pollution • Impacts on surrounding rural areas

  13. Urban Areas: Inputs and Outputs Fig. 25-11 p. 669

  14. Urban Heat Island Fig. 25-13 p. 670

  15. Noise Pollution

  16. Transportation and Urban Development • Individual transit • Masstransit • Buses • Trains • Automobiles(See Pro/Con p. 673)

  17. Urban Land-Use Planning and Control • Land-use planning (See Case Study p. 677) • Ecological land-use planning (See Solutions p. 681) • Property taxes • Zoning • Smart growth • Urban growth boundary • Cluster development (See Fig. 25-22 p. 682) • Greenways

  18. Solutions: Making Urban Areas More Livable and Sustainable • New cities and towns • Ecocity (green city) • Trees and climate-specific landscaping • People-oriented • People-involved See Guest Essay p. 684
